Mudavadi Vows Not to Work with Raila, Says He Cannot be Trusted

ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi has ruled out the possibility of working with ODM leader Raila Odinga in the forthcoming elections.

Speaking during the launch of his presidential bid at Bomas of Kenya on Sunday, Mudavadi termed Odinga as a deceitful politician who cannot be trusted.

“We can’t work with leaders who cannot be trusted. Those who you trust at your own risk. For the avoidance of doubt Azimio la Umoja movement is not an option when it comes to political partnership,” Mudavadi said.

He added: “We have struggled with untrustworthy people before and even when we give them a chance to redeem themselves, they have failed miserably and returned to their old mischief.”

Mudavadi, who teamed up with Odinga in the 2017 elections, also described the ODM leader as a State project and hinted at working with Deputy President William Ruto.

“We must reject political projects and sinister schemes in this year’s general election, we are tired!” Mudavadi stated.

He also poked holes in the Jubilee administration leadership over heavy borrowing, rampant corruption, and over taxation.

“What is happening in our country is unsustainable. Make no mistake, we are sitting on a time bomb. The youth have lost hope in education because they cannot see the benefit of it,” Mudavadi asserted.
